My car is only 2 1/2 years old... I've noticed recently that when I start it up that sometimes when I go to put my foot on the gas for the 1st time it like a huge jolt as if I floored the gas when I really didn't, then it acts normal. It only does that at start up. I noticed it happens ore often if I go to pull out right away as soon as I as the engine... but the car is not old it shouldn't be doing this right? Is there a major problem that I should look into? God forbid someone were right behind my car... I never know when to expect my car to do that because it happen when it wants to. Any help?

Well Luv, it looks like it's time for a thottle body clean. The throttle plate likes to stick and release in the first start of the day unless it's been cleaned before.
Sooner or later, this is a required maintenance.

Oh thanks friend! Can I do this myself or do I need to bring it some place to be done?

Not too difficult. The large intake boot that goes from the air cleaner box to the throttle body needs to come off. Once removed, then you open the throttle plate and spray an intake system cleaner (in the ole days it was carb cleaner) into the throttle opening.
I like to use an old toothbrush to scrub it clean.
Then rinse with some more spray, and put back together. Use as little as possible to avoid flooding out the motor on start up. It will smoke a lot and doing this outside is a must.
